What size wire do you need for a 100amp braker?

Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.


How many wires can you put in a conduit?

Depends on the size of the conduit and the size of the wire.Allowable Conduit Fill CapacitiesSize and Type Of Conduit #14 Wire #12 Wire #10 Wire 1/2" EMT 12 9 5 3/4" EMT 22 16 10 1" EMT 35 26 16 1 1/2" EMT 84 61 38 1/2" PVC 10 7 4 3/4" PVC 18 13 8 1" PVC 32 23 15 1 1/2" PVC 80 58 36


What is the diameter size of EMT conduit?

EMT is electrical metallic tubing. In the electrical trade there are nominal sizes expressed as a standard size. To answer your question you must state the conduit size in either electrical terms or in standard size terms to get a conversion size.For example standard size 1/2" EMT has an actual diameter size of 3/4" and the 1/2"EMT connector for the 1/2" EMT conduit needs a 7/8" hole.Likewise with 3/4" EMT the actual outside diameter is 15/16" and the 3/4" EMT connector needs a 1-1/8" hole.


What wire size for 100amp load for distance of 1000ft?

At that distance you will have a voltage drop of 81.25 volts if you use the recommended #6 wire on a 240 volt, 100 amp single phase circuit. Therefore I recommend you contact you electric utility and let them figure the voltage drop and the size wire required to safely run this distance. Using too small a wire can damage the electronics at the end of the run.
